Darkness descends over the world of Nostria. Conspiracies, sabotage, and necromancy are overshadowing the country. Counties are demanding independence, bandits prowl the roads, and rumors about the overwhelming power of Blight emerge from a whisper in the dark. The old King Claudius was poisoned and cannot lead the kingdom, and so his son, Prince Adrian, must now unite the struggling lands while his power and faith fall under attack. But maybe a saviour – the kingdom's last hope – is already here, to fight back and finally restore peace and order in Nostria?
 
King's Bounty II allows gamers to pick one of three heroes – each with their own personality and unique skill set – and journey out into the fantasy world of Nostria. There is much to explore – from recruiting, developing, and commanding your personal army to venture into a non-linear world full of betrayal, sacrifice, and survival. With big bustling towns, small hamlets, frozen wastes in the north, wide grasslands, or oppressive wetlands, King's Bounty II offers the largest open-world 1C Entertainment has ever created.
 
King’s Bounty II is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 7th with free upgrade and save files compatibility for owners of the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Forge your own destiny, enjoying up to dynamic 4K resolution, highly improved visuals, fast loading, and 60 FPS in performance mode on Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
